Receiving MMS Messages

With our inbound MMS feature, you can easily receive MMS messages (images, audio files, video clips or vCard contacts) as an email attachment, directly onto your server or application or in your Messenger Inbox. In order to receive MMS messages you will need an MMS enabled Inbox using one of the three options below.

There are hundreds of uses for receiving MMS from customers, clients or staff, whatever your line of business. For instance MMS messaging is used by insurance companies to accelerate the claims process, retailers to send store photos to head office and web developers to enable their customers to send them live content.

2. Dedicated Long Number(077x xxx xxxx)

With this option your customers, staff or members simply send their MMS to your dedicated long number. As they don't need to start their message with a keyword, this is slightly easier than option 1 above. As it is your own dedicated number you can set up keywords if you wish and run separate inboxes on one number. This is great for using the same number for various campaigns, promotions and offers.

A dedicated number is also ideal for two-way messaging whether it's SMS or MMS. All MMS inbound numbers are capable of receiving simple text messages.

To set one of these up please call us on +44 (0)1244 752 299. This will take up to two weeks to set up. You can then be extend this when you original contract expires.

3. Keyword on a Short Code

With this option your customers, staff or members send their MMS to a short code and start their message with your chosen keyword. This is the same as option 1 above but with a more memorable short code number - ideal for rapid responses to advertising and promotions.

Like an SMS short code, an MMS enabled one can be used to generate an opt-in list of mobile numbers while retrieving MMS content. This is a great lead generation tool while adding another dimension.

To set one of these up please call us on +44 (0)1244 752 299. This will take up to two weeks to set up and can be extended when you original contract expires.
